This week’s topic:  10 Things that Worry Me

1.  School shootings…  this thought crosses my mind each day that I go into work…
2. Cancer….and who will it affect next in my life?
3. Punky…raising a child in today’s crazy world…
4. Money…is there ever enough?
5. Divorce….not that I’m heading in that direction….it just worries me that over half of all marriages these days ends in divorce!
6.  Time…not having enough…I know there are never enough hours in a day…but do I use it wisely and for the right things?   My perspective on time has changed A LOT in the past few years….NOTHING comes before family!
7. Christianity… am I being a good Christian in today’s world?  Can I help others down this same path?  Am I doing what God wants of me?
8. Teacher burnout…some days I think I am FRIED and can not take being in Special Education any more……I love the kids….it’s all of the impossible paperwork, the ever-increasing workload and lack of respect for the profession in society.
9. Family… Being far away from my family, especially as I have my own now,  continues to bother me and worry me each day…I miss the intricacies of being close (in distance)….dropping in and saying hi to grandma….going out to lunch with my mom….meeting my sister for coffee……I can never do any of these things from way up here!
10. Family & Friends…..I always worry about the welfare of my family and my friends…..
